item shows as both cleared and uncleared

I have a bank charge for a returned check as well as the entry for the returned check that I marked as cleared on last month's reconciliation, but showed up again on this month's reconciliation. When I open the item, it has the green check mark and is stamped cleared. I already know that I will be marking it cleared again on this reconciliation and making a journal entry at the end to explain the difference, but why did this happen at all? Any explanations? Upon further examination, both items had the bank as the account. If I made the fee an expense, it went away.

I can help you check what has caused this reconciliation error, @mfs-teresa-milam.

A reconciliation adjustment is used to match your bank records if there are any discrepancies.

It's possible that someone has changed this transaction. You can run a Reconciliation Discrepancy report to show any transactions that were changed since your last reconciliation.

Here's how:

Go to the Reports menu and hover over Banking and choose Reconciliation Discrepancy.
Click the account you're reconciling and then hit OK.
Review the report. Look for any discrepancies.

You can check now check who has made the changes.
